Had to learn on the fly how to secure my motorcycle in the back of a U-Haul truck after a breakdown. Ratchet Strap Set: amzn.to/3nJOSIP moving truck motorcycle uhaul
Will be doing this my ride from New York to Miami as motorcycle shipper would have my bike for almost 3 weeks this way I can take it with me and watch it at all times and it’s there when I get there thanks!
I rode to north carolina from new jersey and can not ride back home my butt and ears from helmet is killing me. I have a lil 400 was fun at 1st but it is too hot. And i am going this same route with a box truck. Thanks for the info on straps.
Awesome; I may try this myself. I'm thinking of renting a truck for moving and they charge $1800 one way; or $1350 with mileage for a round trip; or $300 if I return it about 40 miles from where I pick it up (with unlimited mileage). Guess they didn't think someone would drive it 1000 miles and then return it almost back where he got it, with a motorcycle in back for the ride home.
@@tims-garage I'm going 450 miles. It just amazes me that there's this loophole in the pricing structure where I can get unlimited miles if I can return it like 40 miles from where I pick it up, and get it for less than it costs me to make 4-5 runs with my pickup and trailer.
Loading it was scary but worked fine. I just rode it up the ramp with two friends spotting left and right. I might have room to spin the bike around and ride it back down the ramp. Is that how you got it off?
@@tims-garage Gotcha thanks. Unfortunately the ramp is too narrow on my U-Haul for me to put my feet down at all. 🤔 I’ll have to spin the bike around somehow and ride it down I think.
@@craigweaver5671 Yeah, no you dont sit on it. You back it out slowly standing next to the bike with your hand on the brake. That is if the truck you rented is low to the ground. If you got one of those really high ones, then its more difficult for sure
Might be better to drop the hook behind the wood (will it fit?) wrap it around and hook it onto itself. Can do the same with the hooks/straps at the bike end for a makeshift soft strap. Can even thread the loose end through the hook eyelet for added security.
Rental van is better because it has more spots to tie down and also easy to load because of low clearance, but unfortunately no body rents cargo van one way so you are forced to pay extra for the 10 ft moving truck, the smallest truck they will rent one way.
